What kind of info are you looking for, genral model info or specific history type stuff?

general info,speed, handling etc.

It was/is a limited production boat based on the standard 34with the blinged out Emerson Fittipaldi design trim package. The 34 is essentially a 31 with a molded in swim platform if I recall correctly. It should weigh somewhere in the 7800 pound range and run roughly 69-70 mph with the 502s. They are a capable rough water boat with good handling manners.

Its on Ebay all the time.......

It is a true 34 and the swim platform is bolted on. It is almost 36 ft long. I have the standard 1992 34 SCARAB and stock with 502's it would do 65 on GPS. And I think the advertized weight is arround 8500 lbs.

A friend of mine has a 1991 34' scarab fittipaldi, It is a true 34 with a swim platform that will measure 36'. Rides great, handles good, with 500hp 502,s it runs low 70,s.

RARE boats, you dont see very many of the 34' fittipaldis

I stand corrected on the length.

Is your friends 91 the same as the 93 pictured that is being inquired about? For some reason I recall the 91s having a little spoiler looking thing molded in behind the sunpad and I thought they had side vents almost like a naca duct?

I believe the boat pictured is a 31 Excell Fittipaldi, not a 34. I have seen this boat for sale off and on for years. I have always loved it and look at the adds every time I see it.

Scarab 34
 

We have a 93 SCARAB 34 it has been great for our family. Many trips between Lake Havasu & Catalina Island. Great offshore handelilng. I too have a hard time finding any information for this boat. I wish I had the 502 motors, unfortunately I only have the 7.4 motors but am planning on yanking them here in the next few months and start going through them to masssage some more performance on a limited budget. I hope someone out there can share more.

Our Scarab - do you have any pictures inside the cocpit, cabin and outside???
I have a 92 SCARAB 34

You are right. His does have the little spoiler behind the sunpad. I cant remember on the side vents, I have some pics of his boat, I will see if I can find em.

I wasnt even aware that they made a 31 Fittipaldi? The Fittipaldi Editions had a Special Edition plaque in them.

Anyone know how I can insert an image??

Tinkerer,

I sure I do I will have to dig them up. How about you?
I find very limited people with this year & size. I don't even know if this boat has a specific model name.

There is a member on here that used to own one of these, if not this very boat. I believe his name is Michael Garibay. He now owns a 38ft P-38 Scarab in Cali. You might send him a PM and see if this was his boat, or he may be able to give you some history.

I have a one page advertising brochure on the '91 Fittipaldi that shows available options....

Yeah it's my old boat. Served me well for 7 years. The guy who I sold it to lost his wife to cancer about a year after he bought it. He sold it to the current owner ( I think) about a year or so ago.

som beach,

Are you referring to the Fittipaldi everyone is talking about or my SCARAB 34?
Aaron

I was talking about the black and red one that started this thread. I absolutly love the early 90s 34 Scarabs like yours The older 80s Scarab IIIs are nice, but the boats like yours just look sleek and refined, and fast. I like your cockpit setup, too, better than other 34s I've seen with the side-by-side bolsters.

My short list, if I ever win the lottery :) will be (in no particular order)
89-93 31 Excel Scarab
90-93 34 Excel Scarab
86-88 38 KV Scarab

Very Cool!

Thanks for the kind words som beach

Theres a lottery?

Maybe i need to check into this?

I did have an 89 EXCEL 29 before this. It was a great boat as well.

My favorite part of my 34 is the full laid back wrap around windshield and integrated swim step. I think it just makes it look fast, even though i'm still working on that part.

I worked with Emerson from 1990 through 1996 and drove his personal boat back around 1992 or 1993 (I can't remember). At that time, it had 6 liter AMG Mercedes engines in it and ran about 74 mph. We had a good time kicking around Biscayne Bay that day. Later on, then engines developed issues and had to be swapped out for Chevies. Emerson's sone designed the graphics package; always one of my favorite color combinations.

I DJed for Emerson at his Key Biscayne house twice during that time,
remember the red boat docked behind the house..
Nicest guy in the world.

The original Mercedes boat???........ :party-smiley-004:

i was looking at this boat previosly, posted a thread about it about this time last year, came very close to buying it but me living in NY and that boat in cali, he couldnt get me good enough pics to be a done deal. i love the boat but its not practical to buy a boat i couldnt see in person, or atleast good pictures, if you dont mind me asking, how much you offered on it
